Is there a time when one of you lot isn't in court?
Okay.
Too soon, sorry.
So what is with the suit?
Got a meeting about these permits, ant i.
And if i want the permits i've got to impress the man.
Right the new empire.
Yeah
listen you wouldn't have a old truck you might wan't to sell on would ya?
Actually there is one that's almost past it's sell by date.
Maybe we can work something out.
Oh brilliant, it's just we've got a scrapyard
but nothing to get the scrap there in.
So until we do we're just sat twiddling our thumbs in that portakabin.
Well at least it's warm.
Oh yeah i know, it's got all the mod cons.
Light.
Heat.
A kettle.
Air.
Big is it?
It's big enough, why?
Just a thought.
Maybe we can er
do each other a favour.
I'm finally getting my house back.
I'm moving all the Home James gubbins up to the portakabin this morning.
And Aaron's happy to share the place?
Happy for the rent i'm paying the pair of them.
You are officially in my good books.
Am i?
I could take the afternoon off if you like?
No sorry.
No.
It's not such a bad idea.
What?
Why don't you settle up here and i'll see you later.
Bob i would like to pay for those excellent elevenses please.
I er
I wen't for a stroll this morning, guess what i beheld?
Rolling hills and dales as always.
Sadly, no.
A portakabin and your Son talking about turning my rural idyll
into a thoroughfare for HGV's transporting scrap metal. Now
this vein is throbbing, i don't like that.
Perhaps you can have a word
before i take matters into my own hands.
I'm off.
Hope your going straight back to Moira.
Give it a rest will you sis, i heard you the first 2 times.
You ant seen Aaron have ya?
No i was about to ask you the same question.
Why?
It's just i might have a car that he can buy off us.
You know once i've stripped it of parts.
Yeah that's if Eric doesn't get his way.
What you on about?
Well he basically threatened to try and get them shut down if they don't clear out.
Urgh
Easy solution, get a crusher, stick him in it.
There's a few round here i'd like to recycle.
There you are!
Aaron not with ya?
Nah
up at the council
sorting out all the paperwork why?
Yeah i think you might have a slightly bigger problem.
Just had Eric chewing me ear off.
What does he want?
Oh don't you know?
He want's to throw you a little moving in party.
Right before he gets the council to chuck you out on the street.
He's like a flaming dog with a bone that guy!
You do know he's got all his old cronies up there, don't you?
There like a little flipping geriatric mafia
and he is Al Capone.
Chas we ant done anything wrong.
So...
Look if you wan't him off your back
it's gonna cost you.
Is this what you and Cain get up too every night?
Yeah good guess.
No it's for Noah.
I just wanted him to feel a wee bit more at home, you know.
I thought you were at the scrapyard today.
Yeah i was.
What's happened?
Errr
Eric happened!
Threatening to go to the council to shut us down.
Well what you gonna do?
I dunno
bung him something to shut him up.
A few grand tops.
Ohhh
you thought i could give it too ya.
No not give.
I was
thinking you could buy me out my stake in this place.
You've not even opened the gates yet!
Yeah exactly
and we've already got the truck.
We've got the premises, were getting the permits.
I mean we've got suppliers lined up.
We got a yard in Newcastle
ready to shift as much stuff as we want abroad Mum.
I have really got a shot at something this time.
Something of my own.
And the farm isn't?
No.
Not anymore. It's your's and James's.
But your a part of that!
And i will always be here to help out.
Look you have always given me everything
this is a chance for me to do something for myself.
Erm
change of plan mate er
me Mum's gonna stay a bit longer along with soft lad.
Hey you don't mind do you? Not while your staying at her's.
Whatever.
As long as you don't expect me to take sides between your Mum & Moira.
Fair does.
Andy it's mad your still shelling rent out for that place.
Well there's no point me moving the last of my things
to your's if were about to get the farm.
Yeah if we get the farm.
You don't think she'll go back on the sale, do you?
Well she will if he's got anything to do with it.
How much longer are you gonna string them along?
You've changed your tune.
Just sick of the sight of them, that's all.
You want to stare lovingly at me instead.
It beats having her look over my shoulder every 5 seconds.
Well who knows what she might see.
Go easy will you
i've had more than enough as it is.
Having a party?
No were having a little toast since you asked
for Adam's new business.
More like old business according to Chas.
Yeah well not anymore.
Oh?
Adam is going to offer him a small financial inducement
with a little help from me.
If it was down to me i'd have induced him over a cliff.
Tell me about it.
Prepare to be grovelled too.
Hiya
look i know that i'm probably the last person you wan't to talk too right now.
I wouldn't say that
i don't even want to look at you.
We haven't come to cause anymore agro.
Well i doubt you could.
I owe you a massive apology.
Not just me.
What can i say
i got it wrong.
So you gonna drop this whole vendetta?
We both just want to get on with our lives.
Well it suits me.
Look we got a survey done
on the farm, just a couple of things that we need to run past you.
Well i hope your not planning on knocking us down.
No, no no we just want to dot over a few i's thats all.
Fine
drop round later we can go through it then.
If your sure, that's great.
Thanks.
We appreciate it.
Later then.
What was all that about?
I told you, you've got enough on your plate with Lachlan without psycho barbie stressing you out.
And that's all it is, is it?
